image Worldwide Group of Better and Interesting Items, being the remainder of a large worldwide estate all in glassines, 102 cards, envelopes and stock cards, there are too many items to list here, mostly all pre-WWII. We did, however note many different countries such as China PRC (group of NH blocks from the late 1980s and early 1990s, see picture), France (Yvert #120c missing second colour €115), many Indian States items, French and British Colonies, Germany and States, Brazil (on old time pages), revenues, errors and varieties, complete sets, and more. A difficult lot to photograph (because of the glassines) so careful viewing is recommended to better appreciate the interesting and varied contents. (Image)
